Re: mcafee compatability

Did you recently have any security software installed on your computer and if so, did you use the appropriate software removal tool prior to installing McAfee Total protection?

You could try to run the McAfee Virtual Technician found at the top of this page under Useful Links. MVT will scan your computer for any McAfee related issues and attempt to fix them.

You could also try a uninstall via Add/Remove programs and reboot, then run the MCPR removal tool found at the top of this page under Useful Links and rebbot agin. Login to your online McAfee account and download your software and see if that makes any difference.

Sounds like a lot of work, but that is the way troubleshooting works. Let us know if you continue to have issues so we can proceed further.

Re: mcafee compatability

I have been having this exact same problem for months. I thought I had the issue resolved when I called in a ticket and got someone who helped open up the right TCP ports. It's basically impossible to add the WoW.exe app to the exceptions list. There was no explanation that the support person could give as to why this happens. Then WoW got one of it's big patches and it stopped working. Another call in, more port work and working again. Then another patch and not working once again.

This is kind of ridiculous and I am frustrated at the amount of time this has eaten up and it's still not permanently resolved.

To any admins/support people watching this thread.... What is the deal here? Why does McAfee Total Protection continually fail whenever WoW updates? I have now resigned to just turning off the firewall services on the PC that I run WoW on.
